Up on the hill, James & Connor are talking about Aja by Steely Dan! The group gave up on touring to pursue perfection in the studio and this 7-track yacht rock staple was the result. With the help of more than 40 session players who learned to work the saxophone, Don Fagen and Walter Becker's complicated chord work and "obscure" lyricism will take us Home At Last. The Mixtaper whisks us through space and time as we learn about arcade soundtracks and hunt down the Title Track Bandit! From the harmonious seediness of Peg to the rockin' Josie, get ready to drink your big Black Cow and get outta here this week!
